--I WORK REALLY HARD ON THIS POST PLEASE HELP ME(english isnt my main language)--

Hey I'm Alvaro, 17 y/o, I live in Asunción, Paraguay. New to the forum as you can tell, and I'm wanting to get into the snake hobby but I have some doubts about where I live in and considering the conditions here I dont know quite much about the conditions that snakes, like ball pythons(the "specie" i'm looking forward to get) ,need in order to be healthy. I will proceed to tell you some things about where I live in:

-On hot months(november to march) is around 33 °C to 23 °C(91.4°F - 73°F), on cold months(may to august) is around 23 °C to 13 °C(73°F-55°F)

-(The following content is traduced)

The wettest period of the year lasts 7.9 months, from September 28 to May 23, and during that time the comfort level is muggy, oppressive, or excruciating at least 25% of the time. The wettest day of the year is February 8, with humidity 85% of the time.



Anything else you want to know, please ask me if you are willing to help.

The questions I have are the following:

-Are the climate conditions adecuate to host ball pythons or any "begginer friendly" snakes?

-What should my enclosure be like, how to control heat and humidity(? and what substrate to use?

-Do you know any latin american snake breeders that I can contact to purchase the snake?

-And anyother comment or suggestion that you have that you consider it can be helpful. :D

Thanks in advance.

Alvaro, from Paraguay.
